Looks like the Mavericks are going to help Bulls get Pau Gasol. Reports that the Bulls are trading Center Greg Smith to Dallas to dump cap space for Gasol. Dallas gets a 23 year old
6'10 big body player. Hopefully he can be a good backup for Dallas

Haven't seen any numbers on what Gasol is getting in Chicago. Anybody else?

Will be sick if Ariza signed 8 and Gasol signs for less than 10. Sicker still if Rox match.

Whats hilarious is Deng turning down 10m deals left and right, and settles for the exact same price

Why is that hilarious?

@ESPNSteinLine Mavericks will get Jefferson on a one-year minimum deal. Bargain signing after Jefferson completed his last contract in Utah

Hopefully this is to supplement Parsons and be done and not hedging our bets or starting to move on to plan-B.

I like the deal for 1-year min. Cuban not afraid to take advantage of guys thinking they are worth more but want to wait until 2015 when the cap could go up to 70-72mill

40% from three
10/3/1.6 from him last year
last earned 11mill

Eman · 07-13-2014, 03:34 PM

Well at least Richard Jefferson gives us shooting, hit 41% from 3 last year, signed for the minimum, 1 year deal

better shooter than Vince Carter last year.

purplefrog · 07-13-2014, 03:35 PM

I was just looking at free agent SFs and saw that Jefferson shot 40% from 3pt and played 27 minutes per game. Mavs need shooters... Maybe Tolliver later...

FreshJive · 07-13-2014, 03:37 PM

Jefferson at the min is a steal. He looked good last year.

10 million in the hand is worth 12 million on the offer sheet

DevinHarriswillstart · 07-13-2014, 03:39 PM

Great bargain deal. As I mentioned in the NBA FA signing thread, he had a surprisingly good year last season. Seems like the ideal VC replacement.

Melonhead · 07-13-2014, 03:45 PM

Really like this pick up. I was afraid to mention him as someone the Mavs should look at. Cant wait to see his impact with the team

This... I guess it wasn't so hard to replace VC after all.

Vinsanity · 07-13-2014, 03:45 PM

I would've preferred Caron Butler but not bad. But there goes any chance of Crowder getting serious minutes at backup SF

Are you saying it like it's a bad thing?

Its funny to me that the bulls offered 3/30 and other teams offered similar only to take 2/20 with the Heat.

TM saying its a replacement for Wayne more than VC

Crowder played most of his minutes at SG last season...

Um no, that makes no sense. Ellington never got off the bench.

Last year

2 minutes at SG
1,201 min at SF
49 min at PF

96% of all of his minutes were at SF.

GuerillaBlack · 07-13-2014, 03:55 PM

Actually not a bad deal for you guys with him coming for the vet min.

Not necessarily, just saying he won't see the floor much next season. But I kind of do wanna see what Crowder would do if given a decent amount of minutes.

Hey it doesnt make sense to me either. I think RJ is a solid player, and would be the perfect type of player Carlisle gets the most out of.

depends on what he has left in the tank

Underdog · 07-13-2014, 04:00 PM

@MFollowill: Richard Jefferson shot 40.9% on 3s last yr in Utah, 3rd time in last 4 seasons >= 40% from 3. Here to provide shooting off bench at SF spot.

When since 1980 did Dallas ever have a youth movement?

It's only a 1-year deal for a bench spot - any team would take that for minimum.

With Parsons (or Stephenson) on their way in, and guys like Calderon and Dalembert gone, youth movement still in full effect.

Chandler Parsons is 11 years younger than Marion (if we get him).

Jefferson is 3 years younger than VC.

Not leaps, but certainly an improvement.

grndmstr_c · 07-13-2014, 04:07 PM

Jefferson's a solid pickup at the vet min. Should fit on the roster regardless of whether Houston matches on Parsons. An Ellington role sounds about right to me.

Just to see what he can do. It's hard to judge a player when we only see him in little 2 minute spurts every now and then. Not saying he'd be great or anything lol

Pretty serious one from 1993 to 1995.

Underdog · 07-13-2014, 04:12 PM

@ESefko: Per source, it appears Shawn Marion is going to have better opportunities elsewhere and could be a former Maverick before midweek.
